  • the invention is not limited to the admixture of pesticides, but the application of other available in concentrate form chemical substances such as cleaning agents with the cartridge is possible.
  • Hand-operated devices for spraying water into an additive in the form of a liquid concentrate, such as a pesticide is mixed are commonly used in crop sprays and are in this case connected via their water connection, which is preferably a pressurized water connection, by means of a pressure hose with a portable pressure vessel.
  • This pressure vessel absorbs the already mixed with the respective additive water and can be pressurized by means of a manually operable or motor-driven air pump be, which forms an air cushion above the liquid level in the pressure vessel.
  • the disadvantage of such an arrangement is that the pressure vessel, the supply hose to the spray device, the manual valve and the spray pipe can be contaminated with the admixed in the water additives, which can be toxic, but at least not environmentally friendly.
  • a hand-operated device for spraying water has become known with a mixing device comprising a mixing head, on which a cartridge receiving the concentrate can be detachably attached.

  • the diameter of the nozzle opening and / or the throttle opening is selected for the respective spray agent or concentrate which is introduced into the cartridge, so that the spray agent or concentrate can be applied optimally.
  • the diameters of both the nozzle opening and / or the throttle opening determine the mixing ratio of the concentrate with the solvent, ie in the present case with water. This is due to the fact that different concentrates have different viscosities at the same temperature. The However, viscosities influence, inter alia, the mixing ratio. If the temperature rises, a higher mixing ratio is generally achieved with the same concentrate.
  • the cartridge is detachably connected to the mixing head of the admixing device, for example via a detachable screw connection or a clip connection.
